This beef roast in cast iron dutch oven recipe was made in an enameled cast iron 1.5 quart crockette.

How Much Meat Can You Fit In A 1.5 Quart Crockette?

I used a beef roast that was 2.30 pound and simply cut in half.

My goal was to see how large of a piece of meat I could fit into the tiny crockette in case I was cooking for more than just the two of us.

The meat cooked perfectly – and certainly was enough to feed a family of at least four – maybe more depending on how much meat each person eats.

Leftovers?

For the two of us, this made several meals which was great!

I am all for having leftovers for lunch.

I also love figuring out ways to use the extra meat I cook to make new meals.

Living the country life doesn’t always leave a lot of extra time to cook – and those of you that have lived the homesteading life know after spending the day outside working sometimes a quick meal is just what you want.

Pair With Quick And Easy Side Dishes!

I did pair this roast with salt roasted potatoes and carrots so you do need to cook some side dishes, but those are a lot quicker to make than the whole meal.
